Download

Two apps, both free. Every installer is compiled from the public source and published on GitHub Releases — no accounts, no installers-of-installers.

SoundChex

The app for every device — browse, play, read and download your library.

First launch on macOS: see DMG setup — unsigned builds need one extra click past Gatekeeper.

SoundChex Server

For the one machine that hosts the library — the server plus service controls.

The server itself is a PHP application; the per-OS guides (macOS, Windows, Linux) cover hosting on each platform.

Bundled server runtime

Plug & play

A self-contained runtime — PHP, php-fpm and Caddy in one relocatable bundle, with the CA bundle and config templates. No system PHP, no Herd, no setup: unpack it and the server runs. Normally installed by the app, but here for headless boxes and NAS.

AGPLv3, with a bundled THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt (PHP, Caddy, SQLite & friends). Verify the download against the .sha256 published beside it. Non-macOS builds compile on their own runners and appear as the pipeline finishes them.

All releases live on GitHub. The releases page lists every version with its installers and changelog. To hear about new versions, watch the repository: Watch → Custom → Releases. Setup guides: macOS (.dmg) · Windows (.exe) · from source.
